Another way citizens can try to

influence governments is to become

part of a pressure group.

People who share a common interest join

together to persuade people in power to

support their views.

The large the group the more impact citizens

are able to make such as by holding protest

and demostrations disruptig parts of the

country

Trade unions are associations of workers

interested in protecting their working

conditions and wages.if discontented they

may strike closing down the workplace.

Groups whose causes are highlighted by the

media may then receive huge support from

the voting public.

Groups that have plenty of money from

supporters can produce publicity material

known as propaganda and even hire full-time

workers.

Goverments request information from some

groups to make political decisions.these

groups can use the request for information to

their advantage.
